2026 Preparation Dashboard
Candidates in the 2026 group began in Fall 2024 and will be confirmed in January 2026.
Announcements & Reminders:
We’ve experienced significant challenges with sending group emails to Confirmation families & messages ending up in spam folders. Please check this page for any information you may need. Copies of emails sent to your child’s preparation group will be added to the “Recent Communication” section below for you reference.
Sponsors are invited to attend a Sponsor Equipping Meeting during the month of July. The purpose of the Sponsor Equipping Meeting is to help sponsors learn more about their role as a Confirmation Sponsor and provide instruction for how they will help their candidate complete a key preparation requirement between now and January.
Sponsors are invited to attend one of the following meetings:
Monday, July 14, from 7-9 PM at St. Patrick PLC
Sunday, July 20, from 1-3 PM at St. Patrick PLC
Wednesday, July 23, from 7-9 PM on Zoom
If sponsors are not able to make any of the scheduled meetings, we will provide them with a video recording of the 7/23 Zoom meeting.
Sponsor Equipping Meetings Offered In July:
Please note that sponsors only need to attend this meeting one time. We offer the same meeting on different days/times in an effort to make it more convenient to attend.
For your planning purposes, our Confirmation Mass will take place at 6:30 PM at St. Patrick on one of the following dates:
Tuesday, January 20, 2026
Thursday, January 22, 2026
Thursday, January 29, 2026
Confirmation Mass - 3 Possible Dates:
We submitted these 3 dates to the Diocese based on our parish calendar and priest/staff availability. We should hear from the Bishop’s office in August or September regarding which of these dates has been formally scheduled.
